Kevin Chou DDS, general dentist, Bakersfield.

Dear Dr. Periklis Proussaefs,
Thank you for the wonderful course. I was doing conscious sedation for many years and took several renewal courses. Yours was indubitably the best. Very informative. Extremely to the point. Clear and very captivating. I learned a lot this Sunday and started work on Monday refreshed, energetic, and eager to use all my new knowledge. I strongly recommend this course to doctors who are willing to introduce sedation to their practice or the ones who need renewal.
Thank you.
